S. African cops kill 9 in cash heist shootout FMTNews FMTWorld
JOHANNESBURG: South African authorities said nine suspected robbers were killed in a shootout with police during a foiled cash heist today.
A police tactical response team traced the group to an address in Sebokeng, a township south of Johannesburg, as the suspects were on their way to attack a vehicle carrying money in the morning, police said.“A total of eight suspects were certified dead at the scene while the ninth suspect died in hospital”.The group was believed to be behind a spate of cash heists on armoured security trucks in Johannesburg’s Gauteng province and surrounding areas.
Six rifles, explosives “ready to be detonated” and four vehicles were seized at the scene, Mathe said.Earlier this week, two bystanders were killed and one wounded after they were caught up in a robbery in Benoni, east of Johannesburg, and randomly shot at.
